That moment when someone makes a terrible OC with a cringe self-centered plot and you have no idea how to react because you want them to indulge your own shit.

@Hero I was hoping someone would swap their gender in-game. Yours is good to go!

@ClocktowerEchos I hope he's not too pretentous around his friends. -laughs a little- He's accepted.

@Double Even though I didn't put the lore (GU does give detailed information in its in-game site) did you need me to? I think the wikia covers the lore fairly well and I found it to be a good read. I think he looks good though I'd rather a different picture for his online profile, I doubt you'll find another one you like. If you could find a different one, awesome, if not I guess you're good to go as well. -smiles-

To Everyone: I wasn't expecting such a big turn out and I never have the chutzpah to turn anyone done. So we can do this a few ways!

We could have one party of six and just give a max of nine people per party for the game, I don't think that matters in the grand scheme of things anyway.

Or we could have two parties of three meet up, sticking to the usual three person limit.

Or we could even have three parties of two.

Or we could mix and match the parties.

The point is in the near future, our characters will be gifted items that need at least 1-2 other fellow party members to move the story forward (think Kite's Bracelet in a way). And I don't know if we'll all be in this but I want to ensure the story won't falter if we lose someone along the way (as it tends to happen in many group roleplays sadly).

Thoughts?
@NobodiesHero Looks good to me, feel free to post 'er in the CS tab!
@Double @NobodiesHero @SilverPaw

The OOC is up. here!

If anyone else is lurking, feel free to apply. -smiles and bows-






Setting_


Welcome to The World, an online game played by millions around the world. It runs on the ALTIMIT Mine operating system (which everything else uses) and gives users a smooth access to The World as well as email, community message boards, news, music and other applications. The World has been created and overseen by CyberConnect Corporation (CC Corp.) for the past 17 years. Avid players of The World have seen it develop and evolve since the year 2000. During the span of 17 years, several serves and special job quests have spawned and many players have soon gone on to work for CC Corp, becoming graphic designers and Admins themselves. The World is the most player MMORPG on the market and it doesn't show any signs of quitting_

Our characters will take the role of people who have been playing for about a month. They have gotten the hang of the controls, have befriended a few online players, have begun to level up and are looking for new challenges and quests. Our characters will be friends during their last year of university in Nagoya, Japan. And the current year is 2017 and it is December 1'st_

Servers_


The Delta Server is Mac Anu, a place where all newcomers gather to trade items, take on quests, and mingle. It is set in eternal twilight and has many bridges and grand architecture. It is quite large and allows users to access areas from level 1 to level 50_

The Lambda Server is Carmina Gadelica, it is a city with many shops and studded with stars in the night sky. It does not issues quests but it does offer players a place to raise Grunties. It allows users to access areas from level 51 to level 99_

The Sigma Server is Fort Ouph, a place linked with narrow stone walkways. It is surrounded by protective clouds and offers players more challenging quests. It allows users to access areas from level 100 to 149_

The Omega Server is Breg Epona, a large city powered by steam. It is the one city where killing other players is permitted. It allows users to access areas from level 150 to 200_

Areas_


Dungeons and fields make up commons areas. Areas can take form of temples, forests, grassy plains or other environments. Maybe fields also have a dungeon in which players can find up to five levels of monsters and treasure boxes. Some areas warp players directly into a single dungeon that is either made of stone or build within a forest or temple. Not alll areas will have a Gott Statue and many areas will require players to use chim spheres gathered from Chim chims to progress. Players use keywords to decide the weather, time of day and level and element for their given area_

Terminology_


M2D has just released. It is a Micro Monocle Display and allows people to immerse themselves in their online life. The M2D offers a 1280 x 1024 full color projection display with a transparency option and provides high quality audio immersion via the new Omnisphere System. The default setting is monocle mode, in which only one lens is activated, but it can be put into double-lens mode for a more immersive experience. Add-ons include the Automatic Broad Interpretation, which allows users to select objects in front of their face and see detailed information about them. The M2D costs $420 and is standard equipment for The World_

Chaos Gate is the method of travel in The World. Users use them to go from root towns to areas. However users do not need one to warp back to root towns. They rotate and are powered by steam_

Grunties are animals that players can raise and summon for quick travel in areas. They seem closely related to bulls or pigs and eat a variety of items found in areas. They sometimes give their owner rare items they find while wandering around. Since only one can ride a Grunty, poeple in parties must all have a Grunty in order to stay together when roaming areas_

Chim chims are small blueberry-like creatures who are made of steam. Most Chim Chims are quite timid and tend to flee when they encounter other races, but some are quite aggressive in nature and will attack any other race they encounter. Chim chims are needed to power chaos gates and other technology found in The World. They just need a good kick and then the player can harness their energy_

Community Forum, is where people post regarding events going on in The World. It is accessed on someone's computer or cell phone_

Lost Grounds are special areas where events or quests tend to happen. Their area words are often exchanged for rare items. Some people suspect rare items or tough monsters are hidden in these locations. Not much are known about them despite the many rumors and historical aspects tied to The World and those who may fall comatose_

Keywords are used to decide an area's parameter, which will determine the type of field, what grunty food can be found there, how many floors the dungeon has (or if there even is a dungeon) and the weather. It also determines the area level_

Member Address is something that listt a player's online or offline status. Players who are online but do not wish to be bothered can also list their member address as "busy". They are also how you can send a fellow user email offline but also send Flash-mail when online. They are used to form parties though one doesn't need one's member address in order to trade items_

Flash-Mail is a special kind of E-mail that is used inside of The World. Flash Mail can only be sent between people who have exchanged Member Addresses inside of the game and is usually used to send party invites or information between characters_

Gott Statues can be found at the end of a dungeon. They yield anywhere from one to three items of high value_

Classes_


Knuckle Masters specialize in unarmed, hand-to-hand combat, equipping gloves and knuckles as weapons_

Wavemasters are physically the weakest class, though they are capable of equipping the lightest armor, they have outstanding magical stats and can equip rods capable of using the most powerful Lv. 4 spells. They are able to use healing and attack spells as well as ones to boost allies and weaken enemies_ Taken by GM_

Twin Blades have high agility and attack with two short swords. Their rapid attacks leave no opening for an opponent to counterattack. They are quick and quite balanced_

Heavyblades are one of the strongest classes in The World. They are notable for their use of huge, double-handed swords and katanas. They can use some of the toughest armor and weapons. In exchange for their strength and endurance, they are lacking in defense and speed_

Steam Gunners use bayonets to attack. They specialize in long-range attack and are weak against close encounters, but if necessary their guns can be used as powerful melee weapons which keep most enemies away_

Flick Reapers specialize in attacks meant to keep multiple enemies away. However, they are ineffective at long range. They use large axes and scythes to fight_

Blademasters use simple one handed medium but agile blade in battle. They are quick and well rounded_

Application_


Below is a sheet for filling out your character (both online and offline) I wanna keep it as brief as possible while still giving me, the GM, enough information to ensure we have a balanced group of people who get along well. They are friends after all and they should be in their early 20s so I expect these characters won't have too many immature traits. Also keep in mind they are living in Nagoya, Japan and attend its university to keep in mind their goals online and offline_

Their family life isn't too important to me so I'm not looking for the character's life story. But anime pictures are required and the higher quality, the better things will be if I decide to make us a banner or something. -laughs- Anyway, post your sheets here and once I've approved, they can be dumped in the CS tab. Also I don't want characters with the same class so I guess it is first come, first serve on the classes, sorry folks_

Lastly, we won't be keeping tabs on currency or items, just don't use them to the point where I have to make people monitor what they have, thank you_

[b]General Playing Style:[/b] How do they play The World?[/center]
I am taking inspiration from: Your Name, Five Centimeters per Second, His and Her Circumstances, Fruits Basket, Dot Hack, The Garden of Words, Summer Wars, Death Note, and Children who Chase Lost Voices.

About Myself: I am in college so posts aren't going to super speedy or frequent. So I want someone who is okay with a slower posting speed but can still keep in touch even in between posts. I also prefer threads over PMs but I can do Pms if you really want.

Posting Habits: I want someone to post around 3-4 paragraphs and give rich detail and thoughtfulness. Because I don't need posts every day, I don't want them to seem rushed. If you're struggling with where to move things, feel free to skip to another day or ask me what I think. Let's talk things out but by no means make writing out to be a chore or obligation. If it is, let's find a way to fix things.

My Characters: I can play males and females but right now I am seeking someone to play a male against my female. I am totally cool with playing male characters who are still main characters though, like your guy's friend or sibling. My characters are usually ones who are 18 years or older, mostly because it's tough to write as teenagers when you're a bit beyond that age. My characters are typically straight unless we discuss otherwise. And finally, mature themes are okay in strict moderation. These are romance plots but I don't drive the story toward mature situations, if they happen, so be it. But I want plot and purpose more than anything else.

Some Ideas: Below are some small ideas I had, if you're interested, feel free to come at me with ideas to add one. Let's both have a plot we're happy with! Now with slice of life, I do expect a slow pace of development, with us exploring so many things like family life, school life, romance, friends, and stuff. When contacting (mention or PM) me, let me know what it is about slice of life you enjoy. And if you have an idea yourself, feel free to share it too. I just made these up on the spot haha.

1. Our RP takes place in a small mountain town in Japan, modern day. One character has lived in there their whole life while another has just moved from Tokyo (or some other big city or even abroad). Our characters can be either in their final year of high school or their first year of university. One character stumbles across an old shrine in the middle of the forest and begins to repair it and bring it back to life. The other character stumbles upon it too (while wandering, the shrine is seemingly vacant) and begins to clean it up as well. Together our characters befriend each other at school or in the neighborhood while both fixing up the shrine, before realizing the other is helping them with the shrine.

We can add a bit of fantasy to this perhaps. Maybe once the shrine is cleaned up and repaired, a festival from the past takes over and characters are spirited away. Or maybe the shrine has some kind of items inside that are magical. Or perhaps the true owner of the shrine is a mythical guardian. It doesn't need to have fantasy elements though and if it does, I'd like them to be subtle and not overpower the RP.

2. Our RP takes place in London, modern day. Our characters are the best of mates and have a (secret) shared interest in gaming. Soon an online game is released, one our characters have been eyeing for several years during its development. Our characters have gotten part-time jobs to pay for it and finally get their hands on it upon its release. The game is a fantasy virtual reality. For whatever reason, one friend hasn't admitted they have purchased said game, having voiced ambivalence about it, and plays in secret. The two friends run into one another online, unbeknownst to them. Either they hit it off well or they don't.

We would then explore their offline relationship as best friends, and their online relationship, either as rivals or potential lovers. Will the truth be revealed when they want to meet offline or will the friend with the secret, finally admit it before then? I see our characters here, being in high school but it's possible they're in college or even the workplace. It's also possible to maybe have a same-sex romance develop? And yes, this is inspired by dot hack.

3. Our RP takes place in a fantasy world where either everyone is born with magical powers or no one is born with magic. It is our characters who will be the outliers who either don't have magic or do. In either instance, they are forced to go on the run, either ridiculed or hated by the society they live in. Our characters live in forests and other secluded areas, living off the land and getting odd jobs to pay for food and supplies. Why they were given such a hard life, will be for our characters to uncover.
For this, I want fantasy to still be light, nothing heavy/intense. Like, I don't want varied races or political dynamics with ten kingdoms, I want something simple we can develop and build together without worry and a lot of thought involved.

4. Our RP takes place somewhere in Japan, either modern day or perhaps ten-fifteen years ago because technology now makes me sad. Our characters are friends and while walking around a quiet neighborhood, stumble across a quaint bookstore. The bookstore owner shows them a book filled with odd enchantments and curses. The owner explains the book's power requires two people and that our characters are welcome to try it out. Whether the owner is good intentions or not, is up for us to decide. It is my idea that the book's magic itself is very basic and would do things like cause a person to tell the truth for a week or cause a person to confess their hidden feelings or cause a person to become astonishingly confident for twenty-four hours, small little things like that.

5. Our RP takes place in modern day Japan or somewhere in the UK. One character lives in one country and has been corresponding with someone who they believe is either in another part of the country or in another country altogether. In reality the character's pen pal is someone they know in real life. An acquaintance or rival or best friend perhaps? The person pretending to be someone else, works at the post office and grabs the letter before it gets returned to the sender because the address doesn't actually exist. The two characters confide in one another over many years and soon agree to meet one another. What will happen then?

So for this, I do want us to get involved in the letter-writing and exchanging that stuff as pen pals would. But I also want our RP to be about the relationship with the characters on another level and people interacting with each other outside of letters and emails and packages. I don't want there to be malice in this deception but more like a cute shyness or something, this isn't like catfishing or I hope it's not...but maybe it kind of is? And this might be a place for a same-sex romance maybe.

6. Our RP takes place in a modern world like ours, with the exception that no one can embrace the opposite sex unless they're true soulmates. If someone does embrace someone of the opposite sex and they are not soulmates, they both transform into whatever animal they were born as according to the Chinese Zodiac. Our characters have had several broken hearts after getting close and finding out their partner wasn't their soulmate. Our characters are friends but are slowly coming to the conclusion that perhaps, they might be the other's answer.

So this takes inspiration from Fruits Basket but I think for this situation, the love has to be fully realized. You can't go around hugging people until you stop transforming. I want this to be a bit goofy and cute. It's a weird concept but it's an every day issue in the RP and I think it would change a few things in regards to casual sex and such.

7. Our RP takes place in a modern world like ours, with the exception that there is a book that allows you to kill someone if you know their name and face. There are about 100 copies of this killing book circulating around the world at any given time. There are sites set up to keep track of who has a book. Whoever does have a book must make a public announcement and must announce who they kill, as per the rules of the book. Many wars have of course been fought over these books. Each person can only kill five people before the book is gifted to another random person. Our characters can either be fans of this craze or against the idea.
Yes, this is mildly inspired by Death Note. I want this to be a bit of a tense slice of life but I don't want to get political here.

I think it would be fun to make up some cool or weird rules. Of course at the end of the day, this RP would be about morals and perhaps one character intends to kill a family member of the other character. I think we could find some interesting dynamics to work with while still keeping things cute and light.

8. Our RP takes place in modern-day Japan, in a bustling large city. Your character has just woken up from a three year coma after having been in a terrible car crash. Your character has lost parts of his memories but despite that, feels ready to return to university. Over time, your character adjusts back to regular daily life but as life begins again, they encounter three people who claim to have been his friend prior to the accident. Your character then interacts with them in hopes of regaining his memories and seeing if any old feelings remain, or if the past is truly gone, bringing new chances at other friends and romances anew.

This is inspired by a phone game I played where a girl lost touch with a childhood friend but grew apart and is now trying to remember him. I'd like to play the role of a few girls and maybe a guy and sort of GM a one on one for someone. I don't want to be the one doing all the work or guidance but I think it would be fun to play women of varying personalities and secret histories for someone, as long as they don't think it's some weird harem or hookup type thing.
Working on the OOC now. I think I'm going to fudge and combine a bit of both R:1 and R:2 (root towns and some classes) so there's going be some merging and changing of information, but generally speaking it shouldn't be confusing! -smiles- And if anyone does need anything clarified, just ask! I'll link it here when I'm done.
@Double I was thinking of sticking to the R:1 classes since it feels a little less hectic to have R:2's selection. A Wavemaster would be suitable if you're looking for magical skills.

@Ambra I'm sorry to hear that but I am glad you're a fan and I hope you find something you're comfortable with. -smiles-
Bump.
@SilverPaw @Hero @NobodiesHero @Ambra

Awesome, it's glad to see fans of the franchise!

Did any of you have any questions? I could wrap up an OOC thread tomorrow if everyone is on board so far!
